A communicable disease is a disease that can be transmitted from one person to another. A contagious disease is a communicable disease that is transmitted to many individuals quickly and easily; highly infectious. For example, the pathogen which causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever can be spread to people through a tick bite. RMSF is not considered contagious, but it is communicable. Something like impetigo or the common cold is considered to be contagious.
